Metal Roofing in New London

A guide to New London's 8 metal roofing contractors: what the work involves, what separates a good installer from a risky one, and how we rank them.

Metal roofing has become a common upgrade for New London homes and businesses that want a roof rated to shed heavy snow and coastal wind without the shorter lifespan of asphalt shingles. This category covers the 8 local contractors who install and repair standing seam panels, corrugated metal, and stone-coated steel systems, along with the flashing, underlayment, and ventilation work that goes with them.

What the work actually involves

A metal roof job is more than fastening panels to a deck. It includes tearing off or overlaying the old roofing, installing ice and water shield along eaves and valleys (important given New London's freeze-thaw winters), fitting drip edge and ridge venting, and sealing every penetration where a vent pipe, chimney, or skylight meets the metal. Standing seam systems also require panels to be cut and crimped to the exact roof dimensions on site or with a portable roll-former, so measurement accuracy matters as much as the crew's experience with the specific panel profile.

What to check before hiring

Ask whether the contractor is a certified installer for the panel manufacturer they're proposing, since that affects whether the material warranty stays valid. Get a written scope that specifies gauge thickness, panel finish, and fastener type (exposed vs. concealed clip systems age very differently in salt air near the coast). Confirm they carry workers' comp and liability coverage, and ask how they handle roof penetrations and dissimilar-metal contact, a common source of premature corrosion.

How we score contractors

Our ranking weighs verified licensing and insurance, the consistency and detail of customer feedback, response time, and evidence of manufacturer-specific training rather than general roofing experience alone. You can see the full breakdown of factors and weighting on our methodology page, and view the full ranked list of local roofers, metal specialists included, on the best roofing contractors in New London guide.

Common questions about metal roofing

How much does a metal roof cost in New London?
Most standing seam installations run higher per square foot than asphalt shingles, largely due to material and labor for custom panel forming. Corrugated or stone-coated steel options sit closer to premium shingle pricing. Get itemized quotes since gauge thickness and finish coating change the price significantly.
How long does a metal roof last compared to shingles?
A properly installed metal roof typically lasts several decades longer than a 20-25 year asphalt shingle roof, which is the main reason homeowners near the coast choose it despite the higher upfront cost. Coastal salt exposure means finish quality and fastener choice matter more here than inland.
What should I expect during installation?
Expect the crew to remove or assess the existing roof deck, install an ice and water barrier, then run and fasten panels in sections, working around vents, chimneys, and valleys. A full residential job is usually completed in a few days to a week depending on roof size and weather.
How do I judge whether a metal roofing job was done well?
Check that seams and fasteners are consistent in spacing, flashing is sealed cleanly at every penetration, and panels are properly aligned without visible oil-canning (wavy panel distortion). Ask for photos of the completed ridge vent and eave details before final payment.
